Gluten Free Providence

I spent 4 days in Boston and as the friend we were staying with is from Rhode Island, he took us to Providence for the day. Before heading for the train, I quickly looked up a couple of restaurants with gluten free options. We would be in Providence from early afternoon until early evening so we planned to eat whilst we were there.  Whilst walking through the pretty city I came across a couple of places serving gluten free options.

Kabob and Curry

Lots of gf options

One restaurant which caught my eye was an Indian place called Kabob and Curry (on 261 Thayer Street). Their menu clearly stated which items are gluten free and there are lots of chicken, lamb and seafood dishes to choose from.

GF cones available

Dessert on the street

There was an ice cream and desserts van parked on the road and I noticed on their board that it said ‘gluten free cones available’. I asked the woman serving whether their ice cream was also gluten free and she said that she thought so but couldn’t be 100% sure.

She took out the packaging and handed it to me so that I could read the ingredients. Nothing looked suspicious. Gluten free ice cream on a sunny day sounds like a good idea!

Seafood risotto at Twist

Twist on Angell

Around 4pm we decided to go for a meal that I have now taken to referring to as linner (similar to the well-known brunch) Online I’d found Twist on Angell (on 500 Angell Street), a restaurant which looked pretty tasty and had a large gluten free menu. This menu includes appetizers, salads, pizza and entrees. I opted for the seafood risotto….delicious and very filling! It’s not the cheapest place but there are lots of yummy sounding gluten free options to choose from and Twist on Angell is the only restaurant I’ve eaten in where they have mouthwash in the restroom!
